Who is the best source of 2.5" 12 ga. shotgun shells..

I don't know who is the best source, but I needed some cheap 2.5" shells to dispatch rattlesnakes and found it at William Larkin Moore.

Agreed, and 2" too.

RST is the best- They will also share pressure information for those who are concerned about shooting their shells in older english guns.

I've used them for years for my english 12 bores.

There is another source for short shells but can't remember now - I'll post later...

I use a lot of the B&P 2.5 in. They have a good selection and prices are reasonable.

I've shot many thousands of 2-1/2" shells made by several manufacturers in 12ga, 16ga, and 20ga. Uses were sporting clays, 5-stand, trap, bird hunting, and testing and patterning. Of the three sources of readily available, a relative term, 2-1/2" shells I would rate them in quality, depending on specific load, as very good to excellent - B&P; good to very good - RST; and fair to good - Polywad. I've never encountered problems with any of them going off. Differences have primarily been shell to shell consistency in number of pellets, consistency of patterns, quality/roundness of shot, amount of barrel soot (significant in the low end shells), and general quality control.

Are any of the US ranges and / or upland shooting grounds concerned about plastic wads and rule that you can only shoot fibre wads or is that not an issue in the States?

Not an issue.

I prefer to shoot fiber wads when clay shooting on my own property. I also use biodegradable targets. But I'm a rare exception. I know that among the handful of high-end driven operations in the USA there are a few that prefer shooters not use plastic wads. But for the most part, including the high volume shooting clubs and ranges, plastic wads are not a concern and I've never shot at a clay range or bird operation where it was.
